Front fenders

I am not sure if that is the right place to post this. But i have a 96 2500 it is my winter truck and daily driver. It needs new front fenders and rocker pannels on it. Not sure if it will be worth my time replaceing them. It has 17400 miles on it and runs good. just looking for sum ideas on what to do or if anyone has replaced them wondering how big of a job it is.

i have done finders before and they aren't that bad most of them just bolt on. but as for the rockers, not sure you may need to cut and weld in new pannels. i would spray the rockers with bedliner after you get them fixed.

did you get new front fenders or finds good used ones. i was told that new front fenders dont come with the inner fender and you have to cut and weld the old one in or buy new ones.

the one i did the outer just bolted on. My 04 just had to got to the body shop to fix a finder that my father inlaw ran under a goose neck and it bolted on as well. no welding. i have seen some that are welded on but i haven't replaced one like that before.

I believe they should have them here in their Dodge catalog.

When I got my aftermarket fenders,they didn't include the inner wheel wheel.Had to remove the spot welds on the old fender and install them on the new one....Bu it was worth it.To fix the rust on the lower panels where way more work....I was suprised how good the aftermarket fenders fit...
